Are
you a user of marijuana, related drugs or any other drug for that matter? If the
answer is ?yes?, then be on your guard! Do you know how long the signs of this
weed will remain in your system? Read on; there is some news for
you!

When you use marijuana in the form
of smoke or swallow, it the body breaks it down and metabolizes. The harmful
chemical tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is separated. This THC is passed into the
blood stream and stored in the fat of the body. It does not go away immediately.
It slowly goes out of the body along with urine, sweet and saliva. THC is not
soluble in water. So it does not go out of the body with these excretions very
fast. THC is fat soluble. So fat in the body holds it for a long period.

If you smoke marijuana or use any
other related drug once, it will take three to four days for your body to throw
the weed out of your system, provided of course, you do not smoke a second time
during the interim period. If you decide to have another go at the drug a second
time within two days of the first, the body will take about a week to discard
effects from it after the last use. Every subsequent use within the stipulated
period will double the time required to wash the weed off your body. For a
frequent user it will take up to forty five days. Since the THC is fat soluble a
fat body can store more of the chemical than a lean body. So a fatty addict may
take up to sixty days to discard the weed in it.

If you want to cheat at a drug test
you will not find any success, if the time mentioned above has not expired. Some
users are of the belief that in a blood test the traces of the weed will
disappear with their urine if they drink plenty of water. That does not happen
because THC is not water-soluble. Any quantity of water will not help. Water
cannot wash it off. Only time can help you in a blood test. For a casual user a
blood test will show ?positive? if the test is taken within four days of use.
For a regular user the time required is about seven weeks.

In the case of a urine test a casual
user can be detected within seven days of the use. But for a regular user the
weed can be detected up to thirty days. The blood test gives a more accurate test than the urine test. And
there is the hair test also. The urine test is the cheapest one. So, most of the
employers are using this test. The result also comes fast. It will take only an
hour. The urine test is not very reliable. It can sometimes give a false
result.

The hair test will betray you if you
have ever used any drug while the tested hair was growing. As said earlier the
weed will remain in your blood stream seven to approximately fifty days
according to the frequency of smoking marijuana. The hair growing during that
period will have the traces of the weed even after the expiry of the period.
Only if the hair is cut off the traces will disappear. That is the reason why
some addicts shave their head. But if you are taking the drug test to obtain a
job please remember that any suspicious act by the applicant may cause his
disqualification. Very recent use of the drug may not show in a hair test. Apart
from that it is a very reliable test.

Then there is the sweet test. This
test is taken by sticking a sweet patch on the body. The sweet patch will be
kept there for about a week and then it is removed and sent to the laboratory
for testing. A long term user can be detected by this test. Since it is time
consuming it is rarely used.

Saliva test normally takes more than
a week. Saliva has to be sent to the laboratory for the test. It is good to
detect recent use of the drug. It is a very reliable test also. It is very
convenient for the one who is tested.

This marijuana does not do any good
for your mind or body. It only harms the body and the mind. Marijuana ruins
yours life. Instead of weeding out the deposits made by marijuana in your body
is it not better not to use it at all? Excuses for the boys and girls using
marijuana are not tenable. Some say that they use it because their seniors at
home are using it. The excuse for others is that the seniors at school are using
it. For some others it is for getting recognition from the friends and
classmates.

Lack of proper care and attention
from parents is another reason for young people to fall into the practice of
using the drugs. If the parents can monitor the activities of their children the
parents can feel the changes in their offspring. The parents also can watch the
friends the children have and enquire about their activities.

The weed does not help in any way.
It affects the memory. The use of marijuana hampers the motor coordination. If
you use it for sometime you will get addicted to it. Then your relationship with
others will get affected. If you use it longer you will have to use more and
more to get a high. You will resort to criminal acts to obtain the necessary
money.

Only those who use the drug want to
get the weed out of their system. The best way is to quit using the drug. Only
time can properly cleanse your body of the weed. Some manufacturers are offering
detoxification medicines for the purpose. These medicines are very expensive.
Their effect is doubtful.
